@squirrel So suspend means that my followers on one of those instances (if any ^^) don't get my toots at all anymore (how could this be possible?)? Or is there just no direct exchange of toots but they can still get there after some obscure journey through mutual followers? or is there no following at all now?

Sorry, you don't have to answer all of those. I just didn't think about how all this federation works on a deeper level until now.
